ANSWER

The Emancipation Proclamation was instituted at a time during
the war when the north was losing and it was used to create unrest
in the south. The slaves weren't freed they were only freed in the
south. The last 2 states to give up their slaves were Ohio and
Delaware 2 years after the war. Gen. Lee inherited 50 slaves and
released them 10 years before the war started. Gen. Grant was
forced to free his slaves. The civil war was not fought over
slavery it was fought over individual states rights.
